Top 29 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Enjoy in Marathon

Gluten free cupcakes and desserts! Also love the mint chocolate chip (oddly, the plain chocolate wasn't my favorite). They also have a shop stocked with local artists' items. We finally found cute jewelry for my niece! I was surprised at how many places down here don't have earrings for young girls! Love what we bought here!

The Food is AMAZING! And service is great also. We have been twice now, once for Lunch and once for breakfast. Lunch back in January was delicious! All of our bowls were so full of flavor and everyone loved their food. This morning’s breakfast was so good and Danielle working the register was super friendly. Her bubbly personality made our experience that much better! Lunch/dinner food is clearly marked for what is gluten free and what is not. The breakfast menu was not labeled but Danielle was very helpful and checked on certain items for me to confirm if they were safe for me to eat. Highly recommend!

Very good gluten-free pizza. Unfriendly service. Felt like we were inconveniencing them to come in at a typically slow time. Not a great dine in place. Mostly for takeout.

I love that they offer gluten-friendly options, like buns, grilled seafood, and coleslaw. The view is stunning and has that charming "old Florida" vibe that really makes the experience special. I ordered the Mahi fish sandwich on a gluten-friendly bun, and wow—the fish was huge, easily three times the size of the bun! It was absolutely delicious, and the portion of fries was massive—definitely a great value. My friend got the platter with hush puppies, and they were so good I asked if I could order some on their own. Unfortunately, they told me I could only get them as part of a platter, which was a bit disappointing. It's always strange when you're willing to pay for something, but can't get it. Still, the meal overall was good, and I’ll definitely be back!

We are consistently astonished at the quality of both the food and service. Tonight was especially amazing. We had Kathleen take particularly good care of us. Friends were visiting, a party of 6 and a 5 year old. I've never had a server take the time to learn names. She addressed us by name the entire dinner. We enjoy the early bird special and Kathleen took care of a gluten intolerance and other special requests. The food is always on point. Our favorites: French Onion soup, prime rib, filet mignon, grilled shrimp, broiled mahi-mahi and the crab cakes. The desserts are chef's kiss! This is my favorite restaurant in the Keys, bonus points that reservations can be made on Google. We really enjoyed dining with Kathleen, she made quite the lasting impression, a true brand ambassador!

Excellent crispy gf crust pizza. Very accommodating and nice family owned restaurant, especially that we got in very late in evening. Thank you for a good experience while traveling!

Family friendly! Awesome Gluten Free options and see the manatees was an absolute treat!

Marybeth Urban

Food was delicious! So many choices! They even had a gluten free menu for my daughter! Fun atmosphere.

Jennifer Hamlin

We didn't have a reservation & was seated once explained didn't know. Reservations not necessary. Busy place. Delicious food! Gluten free options available, even pasta. Wait staff excellent! Will eat there again!

Merrilee Batten

Great food! Fish, steak, burgers and gluten free menu.

Kat Hudson

I called to ask if the Alfredo was gluten-free and been hung up on 3 times. The guy says hello and hangs up.

Jason Rewald

This place is utterly amazing. They have a pretty decent gluten-free menu, including an amazing fillet steak. Their seafood is off the charts, and the atmosphere is awesome. If you come here to eat, I highly suggest that you ask for Jose, a server, who is amazing. It is quite the experience, and I highly recommend this place. And Jose!!!

The top of the top! We were here passing through and wanted to avoid tourist places, there is only delicious fresh fish caught of the day. Exceptional quality price, we will definitely be back! There is also the possibility of having Gluten-free dishes cooked on the griddle without bread.

Where the locals eat. The food is great. The service is friendly. Everyone there is pleasant and seems to enjoy what they are doing. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. My husband had the fried shrimp plate. I had the grilled Mahi sandwich. I appreciate the option to have a gluten-free bun for my sandwich. Also, the restaurant was cool. (The novelty of outdoor dining had paled and we wanted to eat good food in air conditioned comfort.) We enjoyed our lunch at Fish Tales Market and Eatery and recommend it.

The Atmosphere is very nice but we sat at the outside bar and Bartender was definitely not attentive or friendly. And there were only one other couple there, so he wasn't busy. Food is not good for gluten free or dairy allergies. So basically had a drink with a nice view and ate at another restaurant. Pool is a cool plus.

Ellen Coulter Garcia

Placed an online order for pickup in an hour (2 gluten free crust pizzas). An hour after my husband arrived (2 hours after placing the order) he was informed they were out of gluten free crusts. Pizza might be good, but we wouldn’t know. We do know the service is horrendous.

Janeen Minguillo

No one knew what gluten free was when i asked. Don't recommend.

Eric Spencer

Great little breakfast spot in Marathon. Wide variety of bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast bowls. They even have gluten-free bagels, so my wife was able to have a breakfast sandwich for the first time in a while. I would definitely recommend grabbing breakfast when in the area. Just note that there is not ample seating so get there early or plan on taking it to-go.

Just stopped in for a cold drink (White Claw bucket 5 for $25) and some AC. Lots of ciders and designer ales on tap, even gluten free options. Bartender made us feel at home and fish dip was de-lish!

Had breakfast here only once. Asked about gluten-free items from my daughter with Celiac and our server did not know what gluten-free was. After speaking with management it turned out the only thing she could have was bacon and eggs. Definitely not the same level as hotels we've stayed in the upper keys. They don't even have gluten-free bread, which was pretty shocking. I had the biscuits with chorizo, gravy, and eggs. That was quite good.

Abigail Nyhus

Delicious food! Some of the best we had our entire Florida trip! The pad Thai was great as well as the stir fry. Prices were reasonable. Gluten free options!

Local island vibes. Live music. 🎶 Great gluten free pizza! Try the BBQ Chicken Bacon Jalapeno pizza... It is the BOMB!

Margaret Kreutz (Margo)

Ordered a gluten free catch of the day and the kitchen messed up and made a sandwich with a normal bun: not what I ordered and definitely not gluten free. They asked if I could just take the bun off instead of making me a new dish. They also forgot my side and I’m glad I noticed before we left since it was a to-go order. The mahi was bland and dry but the tartar sauce made it somewhat edible. My husband loved his fried grouper sandwich though! And the staff are very friendly which almost salvaged my horrible food experience.

Love this place- very quick and casual but the food is amazing. My Cuban sandwich was huge and delicious. My husband (he is gluten intolerant and never can get enough to eat) said his pork platter with rice and beans was the best he ever had. We took leftovers back to our hotel but will still try to go back to Paradise again before we have to go home.

Great breakfast spot. Pork in many forms, fresh seafood, alligator tail, breakfast and sandwiches available at all times. Opens before sunrise and close around 2pm. The inside is pretty small but has air conditioning you'll want in the summer. There is a large shady patio around back. We found the wait staff friendly and able to accommodate our needs (a breadless sandwich for a gluten intolerant person? lemme ask the kitchen... sure we can do that!) This appears to be a bit more of a locals place than a tourist place (as most people reading this review are likely to be). If that puts you off, tough cookies. While they are on 1, their sign is mostly hidden by some trees. Just look for the "Open. Serving Breakfast & Lunch" sign.
